Something (I Dont Remember That).He Tried Everything But Nothing Happned.Finally Next Day He Changed The Hard Disk And XP Was Installed.

But Now I Have The Same Problem.My PC Wont Start It Shows A Blue Screen For A Few Seconds And It Restarts.I Tried Inserting XP Disk To Perform A CHKDSK But It Again Hanged.Plz Help Me......

Try formatting again(not quick format) with NTFS and then try reinstalling! Quick Format only deletes files and folders but doesn't create new tracks and sectors and for this reasons such types of error pops up sometimes...
